Holiday Gifts for Law Students & Legal Professionals

Looking for a gift for a law student, lawyer, or other legal professional? Below are some affordable and practical gift ideas your law-minded colleagues, friends, and family would enjoy this holiday season.

Gift Ideas Under $25

Snack Box

Legal professionals and law students often have packed schedules with long hours making a thoughtfully curated snack box the perfect gift to fuel their busy days and satisfy any cravings while on the go.

Desktop Motivational Sign

The study and practice of law are demanding. When lawyers, law students, and legal professionals encounter challenging moments or situations, a desktop motivational sign can be a small but meaningful way to add some positivity to their days.

Gift Ideas $25-$100

Insulated Lunch Bag

An insulated lunch bag is a perfect gift for students and professionals on the go. Keeping meals fresh and ready no matter the time of day, it's a stylish yet practical way to encourage healthy eating during the school day or workday.

Gym Bag

Exercise can improve physical, mental, and emotional health. Help the law student or legal professional in your life stay active by gifting them an exercise or gym bag to ease their transition between the office or school and the gym.

Planner

Preparation and organization are key to success for establishing or reinforcing helpful habits. A planner will help the law student or legal professional in your life keep track of deadlines, meetings/class schedule, billable hours, and other important reminders.

Gift Ideas Over $100

Professional Clothes and Accessories

Law touches all kinds of industries, clients, and spaces; as such, there is no universal dress code for all lawyers and legal professionals. Whether a lawyer needs suits for frequent court appearances, a paralegal wears business casual attire to look presentable but feel comfortable for long hours on a day-to-day, or a law student dresses casually for classes but needs professional attire for a legal internship, the gift of professional clothes or a gift card so they can buy items to suit their needs is a practical and essential gift to anyone in the legal industry. As a bonus, also consider gifting a professional bag so the law student, lawyer or other legal professional in your life can carry their belongings while looking stylish and feeling comfortable. 

Smart Watch

Punctuality is mandatory in the legal industry, and while “the time” is often all around us on clocks and other devices, consider gifting a stylish smart watch to complete the look of your favorite legal professional or student. Plus, many smart watches have additional features to support health and wellness goals, including tracking steps, sleep, exercise, and more.

Under Desk Pedal Bike or Elliptical

Lawyers and other legal professionals are often glued to their desks for long periods of time. Finding time to exercise can be difficult. Bring the gym to the office with an under desk pedal bike or elliptical to keep moving while being productive. 

Gift of Mentorship

Technically this gift does not have a price tag, but we all know time is precious and especially during the holiday season we are often pulled in many directions between work, family and personal responsibilities, holiday parties, family gatherings, etc. Gifting your time towards mentorship of another member of the legal industry who can benefit from guidance, support, or sponsorship (e.g., law student or intern, junior associate/paralegal, mid-level associate seeking partnership or legal assistant looking to become a paralegal or go to law school, etc.) is priceless and will have lasting benefits beyond the holiday season.  

However you choose to celebrate your colleagues and loved ones this time of year, Zerega Consulting wishes you and yours a flourishing season and new year. Don’t forget to celebrate yourself too for all your progress and accomplishments this year. Happy Holidays!
